This document discusses the different possible purposes that museums can serve such as educating the public, inspiring people, sharing knowledge, preserving artifacts, and giving a community its identity. It also questions whether all museums should have the same purpose or if they are free to choose their own focus, and debates whether museums should serve the whole community or just elite groups. The role of public funding for museums is also considered.

Technology and Education

samimie

The document presents quotes from various educational organizations over 200 years criticizing students' dependence on new technologies for writing and calculation. Teachers in 1703 complained about students relying on slates instead of memorization. In 1815 and 1907, pens and ink replaced slate and pencil. Complaints continued about store-bought ink in 1929 and fountain pens in 1941. Ballpoint pens were criticized in 1950 as too luxurious. Handheld calculators drew criticism in 1985. The concluding paragraph notes we still rely on those technologies and computers, and new technologies will always face resistance.

Social Technology and Science Museums

Nina Simon

The document discusses social technology and how museums can incorporate it. It defines social technology as tools that enable people to create, share and connect with each other online and offline. It argues that museums should care about social technology because it is already impacting how people interact and expect to engage with institutions, and it can help museums better connect with visitors. The document provides examples of how museums can use social technology by being an authority, participant or both online. It recommends museums start by listening to where visitors are currently engaging and decide what type of online relationship to have, then engage different types of participants and start small with something exciting.

Committee

himanshusingh2191

A committee is a group of people who meet to discuss and make decisions on a particular subject. Committees allow for collective decision making through information sharing and deliberation. They can generate creative ideas and cooperation while providing moral support. However, committees also come with disadvantages like costs, potential indecisiveness, lack of secrecy, risk of domination, and irresponsibility. For better results, committees should consider their size, scope, member selection, subject manner, costs, follow up processes, and evaluations.
